Dr. Caswell C. Cusick was born in Sevier County about 1863, the son of Andrew and Elizabeth Cusick who were living at Trundle's Cross Roads when the 1880 Census was` taken. Although his signature was C.C. Cusick, he was known as Dr. "Cad" Cusick.
Mr. Hugh Rogers recalled that Dr. Cusick lived in the Harrison-Chilhowee area and was a familiar figure riding horseback with saddlebags or in a buggy to visit his patients. Mr. Rogers described Dr. Cusick as "a man small in stature and a very good doctor". In her book, "Our Tennessee Kinsmen", Aurelia Cate Dawson mentioned Dr. Cusick of Boyds Creek who crossed the French Broad River to visit patients who lived in the Kodak area.
Dr. Cusick married Minnie Smith and they had one daughter, Beulah. Following the death of his first wife he married her sister, Mollie Smith. They became the parents of Minnie; Juanita, Mayford; Roy; Walker; Merle; Hillard; and Jack.
Dr. Cusick was a graduate of the Knoxville Medical School. In later life he practiced medicine in the Lake City area and died there. It is believed that he died sometime in the early thirties and is buried in Blount County. His brother, Dr. Will Cusick, practiced medicine in Knoxville. He is buried in Trundle's Methodist Church Cemetery.
